Smart Oral Drug Delivery Platforms

Oral Drug Delivery refers to advanced systems designed to release drugs in a controlled, targeted, and responsive manner within the gastrointestinal tract. These technologies include pH-sensitive coatings, nanocarriers, and time-release formulations that enhance drug stability, improve bioavailability, especially for poorly water-soluble drugs, and optimize therapeutic outcomes, offering patient-friendly and effective treatment options. Advances in taste masking, pediatric formulations, and fixed-dose combinations are being made to improve patient adherence. Innovations focus on gastro-retentive systems and tablets with sensors. Oral delivery systems are central to improving outcomes, mainly in chronic disease management.
